Including a Manufacturer in an Item setup can help you keep track of material pricing and ordering.

Manufacturers should not be confused with Suppliers.

  • Suppliers are a Contact (with a Contact Type = "Supplier") - they are the dealer who sells and delivers the building components. You can send eQuotes (covered in Related Articles) to Suppliers (see the previous article, Contacts and Contact Types).
  • Manufacturers are listed in their own Master Table; they are the entity that manufactures a building component. An Item is associated with one Manufacturer, but often multiple Suppliers.
